Great to hear your story. Articles like this will motivate a lot of red fish and minnows who feel their posts are undervalued. It shows them that if you keep on posting quality content, it can happen - you can be picked up by one of the great curators. An article like this is a very good reminder to not give up.

Oops, I almost forgot to congratulate you, lol. Congrats for getting curated! :0)

Don’t let these thoughts of people expecting something get to you. I’m pretty sure you wrote the GOT article straight from the heart, without having the feeling you had to fulfill any expectations.
If you’re trying to fulfill expectations, it’s gonna show in your articles. Just do what you like yo do and write about what you love. That’s how good articles are written.
Can’t wait to read some more of your writings!
